Aria’s last episode

So, while I’m angsting about fma, I’ll write about Aria, as I finished it rather recently ago.

The animation quality improved, though I find that I prefer the older artwork more than the newer version but it’s still all eye candy, I suppose.

I felt the last episode, episode 13, was too revolved around Alicia, rather than Akari; because, I mean, it’s supposed to be Akari’s story, after all. It really felt like Alicia stole the spotlight. I’m pretty sure they rushed the last episode.

Also, Ai. … I can’t say I’ve liked her. She was a brat in the beginning, then she turns into some cheesy little girl, and finally into a Pair for Aria Company. :[ Her character at the end of the series was too much like Akari. Also, their conversation at the end makes it seem as if their relationship weren’t as close. Say for instance, would Ai really blush from embarrassment simply because of Akari’s stare? :/ I don’t really think so, but maybe that’s just my opinion. D:

Regardless, I find it cute that Akari said the same thing that Alicia said. ;A; “I’m just a little bit happy, that’s all *chuckle/smile*” But even if she says that, Aika’s still my favorite out of the three main. (I could’ve sworn her prima-name was “Rozen Maiden” though, it sounds weird as “Rozen Queen”. :B)

Overall, it was a cute series. I’m glad I watched it. It was carefree, Venetian (♥), and a simple day-to-day kind of anime. XD

One last note: Al looks weird tall. Hahaha.

Aria ~The Origination~

Warning: Massive Fangirlism

I’m currently in the process of catching up with Aria, as I have been too lazy to watch it these past weeks. I just finished episode 5, which was about talents.

Aika felt depressed because she wasn’t as talented as Alice, the super smart junior, and Akari, the all-natural-friendly-person. She felt that she wasn’t a genius and ended up putting herself down. In the end, her mentor, Akira, says that if you don’t have a talent, just make one. But, personally, like what Alphonse said to Sheska in Fullmetal Alchemist, “I think being passionate in something is in itself a talent.” (Viz translations, chapter 10 book 3)
